Colton McKivitz's 7-Word Goal For The 49ers Should Make Every Seattle Fan Nervous

Alright 12s, grab your coffee. You know how much we love seeing stability and long-term commitment in our own locker room, right? Well, guess who's talking about a decade of dedication with *our biggest rivals*? None other than Colton McKivitz, the 49ers' starting right tackle. He dropped a statement that should absolutely tick off every single one of us in the Emerald City, and honestly, it shows exactly what we're up against.

He Just Won't Go Away, Does He?

Think about it. Back in 2020, McKivitz came into the league as a fifth-round rookie out of West Virginia. He played in 14 games that year, started three of them. Then, in August 2021, the guy was *released*. Yeah, cut loose. We all thought, "Good, one less problem." But did the 49ers let him walk? Nope. They snatched him right back onto their practice squad after he cleared waivers, and by November of that year, he was back on the active roster. McKivitz himself admitted, "Obviously being cut, I've got some scars there." But those scars, unfortunately for us, just seem to have made him stronger for them. He even said, "there was a reason why I was drafted here, why I was cut here, and why I still play here." It's the kind of narrative that just builds up a rival, you know?

Ten Years? With *Them*?

Fast forward to 2023.

Mike McGlinchey bolts for the Broncos, and who steps up? McKivitz, becoming their starting right tackle. And get this: he hasn't missed a start since. That includes all seven of their playoff games and even Super Bowl LVIII. This guy is a fixture. And his goal? He told SB Nation's Nicholas McGee directly, "I want to be on that 10-year wall." A *ten-year wall* for the 49ers. Can you imagine? Last September, they gave him a three-year, $45 million extension that locks him in through 2028. That contract puts him just one year shy of his decade-long goal. He's already had three good seasons of starting, and he's heading into his fourth. This isn't just about one player, it's about a rival team locking down its pieces, trying to build a dynasty right in our own division. It's frustrating to watch, plain and simple. So, while Colton McKivitz is busy declaring his love for the 49ers and getting ready to hang around for a decade, what are we doing here in Seattle? We're focused on *our* future, on *our* guys, and on bringing that Super Bowl trophy back to Lumen Field. Mike Macdonald and Brian Fleury are building something special with Sam Darnold under center, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp making plays. We've got talent, grit, and the best fanbase in the league. Let them build their "10-year wall." We're building a fortress. Stay loud, 12s, we've got a season to win!
